Personally Pilates

Please allow extra time if you are coming to class this evening from Barton/Luton/Streatley way. You may need to take a different route rather than the A6. Hoping that everyone involved is ok 🙏

Sometimes it can be hard to stay motivated when it comes to exercise. Particularly days like today that are grey and raining or if it's an evening you have had a tough day at work and just want to sit on the sofa. It's so easy to make excuses but here are a few ideas to keep you on track: #1 Put your workout clothes on. Don't think about it, just get dressed. #2 Write down how you feel after you have worked out. That way you can go back and take a look when you’re just ...not feeling in the mood. #3. Eat healthy food. When you eat unhealthy, processed, and high-sugar foods, your body doesn’t get the energy it needs. These foods make you feel tired, lazy, unmotivated, and grumpy. #4 Find something you love to do. It will never seem like a chore ✨ #staymotivated #selfcare #helpyourself #pilatesisheone #exercisecanbefun

There has been so much amazing feedback given to me in class this week about the change Pilates has made to peoples lives. Sometimes, Pilates has been the catalyst for people to change their mindset. I think that after one class, you can immediately feel muscles that you may not have felt for a while and this gives you so much encouragement. You can also very quickly feel your body start to move easier, release tension and definitely feel so much better in yourself. In turn, It can inspire you to eat healthier and be much more positive. All of my classes are so much fun, we laugh alot, people chat, make new friends..... Its been a fabulous week! ✨

So just a few reasons why Pilates is so good for you. There are still some spaces if you would like to find out for yourself. Classes re-start Tuesday 4th June.
Tuesdays - 10.45am and 7.30pm Flitton Tuesdays - 8.35pm Flitton MENS CLASS Wednesdays - 10am Barton & 11.45am Haynes... Thursdays - 10.45am Barton ✨

The Mens Pilates class starts again on Tuesday 3rd June at 8.45pm in Flitton. Such a great exercise on its own but also massively helps with other sports. It can improve your running, cycling, golf, football, rugby and many more. It can also prevent injuries and brilliant rehabilitation as it develops often neglected muscle groups.

For those coming to classes in Flitton this evening, just to let you now that Flitton Hill is closed for 3 days so allow a little extra time for the diversion. It wont affect all of you but particularly if you are coming from the A507.🚗

Such an amazing afternoon yesterday at an instructors workshop with the fabulous Julie Driver Pilates at Mycore Pilates. I learnt so much and am looking forward to bringing it into class this week. #luckyme #alwayslearning #pilatesisthebest #pilatesmakesyoustrong #movemoreforastrongcore #inspired #pilatesbedfordshire

Wow....How would you feel about goats as an addition to the equipment choice?!?? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just love waking up to messages like these. #sorrynotsorry #pilatesmakesyoustrong #lovepilates #lovemyjob

This was my breakfast this morning. I am always looking for new ideas to firstly make life easier (who doesn't?!) and is also going to keep me full until lunchtime. Overnight oats is always a winner and another variation for a summer Bircher. Most importantly it’s totally delicious but also a source of wholegrains, fibre, protein, fats and calcium.
✨Add Oats (about 40g), an optional 1 tbsp chia / flax or both and juice of 1/2 lemon to bowl. Cover with boiling water, stir a...nd leave to soak over night. In the morning add 2 heaped tablespoons of Greek yoghurt and give the whole thing a good stir until it’s a nice creamy consistency. Add some crushed frozen raspberries and grate in some lemon zest. I also added a teaspoon of local honey for sweetness and hayfever. Serve up with more crushed frozen raspberries and some chopped nuts. ✨ #totallydelicious #feedingyourselfwell #healthyfood #foodandmotivation #breakfastisthebestmealoftheday #3squares #andthencoffee #bircher #feedyourselfstrong #adayofpilates #whatihadforbreakfast

I think I’ve heard that said many times in class. Your own body weight and gravity are tough trainers!

After a wonderful weekend of weather and possibly chocolate 🤷🏻‍♀️, the next block of classes starts tomorrow morning 🙌🏼

There are still a couple of spaces left in the Men’s Pilates class on Tuesday evenings. 8.35pm in Flitton church hall.
Why More Men Should Practice Pilates: Pilates helps with flexibility. So many men’s bodies are super tight and stiff. It may be the sport you play or the physical job that you do, but by improving your flexibility, you’ll feel more relaxed, your posture (and the pain that comes with poor posture) will improve, and you’ll be less prone to getting injured whil...e doing the other active things you love to do. Pilates makes you STRONG. Pilates helps strengthen those small, intricate, supporting muscles just as much as those larger muscles.
